🥒 Pickles Shaders by fragilesilver

A collection of Pickles shaders made specifically for MustardOS (Andromeda) on low-power handhelds.

Overview

The collection is organized as such:

1. FS Ported Shaders

• fs-sharp-shimmerless.frag: Pure area-weighted box-filter scaling. Eliminates scrolling shimmer with pristine pixel integrity.
• fs-sharp-shimmerless-grid.frag: Area-weighted box filter scaling with configurable horizontal and vertical pixel grid lines, adjustable opacity, and simulated LCD motion blur.
• fs-fakelottes-geom-mini.frag: Lightweight CRT simulation combining shadow mask patterns, tube curvature, and rounded border corners, with scanlines intentionally stripped to eliminate moiré on low-resolution displays.
• fs-zfast-crt.frag: High-performance CRT emulation using sharpened weighted-linear scaling, dynamic brightness-dependent scanlines, and a monochrome aperture mask.
• fs-lcd3x.frag: Handheld LCD subpixel triad RGB mask simulation featuring luminance-adaptive scanlines and sharp bilinear scaling.

2. FS Atmosphere Pack

• fs-twilight.frag: Configurable dawn-to-dusk progression with warm amber sunset tones, top sky-bleed, and moonlit blue hour tints.
• fs-worn-polaroid.frag: Faded instant film aesthetic with lifted blacks, orange/teal complementary color split, corner light leak, and paper grain.
• fs-campfire.frag: Hypnotic warm ember glow with organic multi-frequency flickering and directional bottom light falloff.
• fs-rain-on-glass.frag: Rain-streaked window effect with droplet distortion, micro-refraction, and cool grey-blue grading.
• fs-dusty-attic.frag: Yellowed ABS plastic tint, low contrast, warm corner vignette, and drifting animated dust motes in a light shaft.
• fs-projector-film.frag: 8mm home movie simulation with mechanical gate weave jitter, scratch lines, tungsten lamp warmth, and grain.
• fs-neon-noir.frag: Cyberpunk aesthetic with crushed blacks, vibrant neon pink/cyan pops, chromatic fringing, and deep shadow blue tints.
• fs-sun-bleached.frag: Per-dye UV bleaching simulation (faded magenta/cyan, yellow shift) mimicking cartridges left on car dashboards or sunlit store windows.

3. FS DMG Pack

• fs-dmg-authentic.frag: Physical Game Boy DMG-01 STN reflective LCD simulation with subpixel grid gaps, depth backplane shadowing, metallic foil grain, and lens vignette. Includes selectable DMG, Pocket, and Pass-through modes.
• fs-dmg-ghost.frag: Passive-matrix motion smear and liquid crystal response decay (ghosting) layered over DMG/Pocket LCD grid lines and backplane shadowing.
• fs-dmg-pocket.frag: Dedicated 1996 Game Boy Pocket (MGB-001) FSTN panel simulation featuring true high-contrast silver-grey grading, tighter pixel grid spacing, and tunable foil warmth.

4. Extra Shaders

• fs-ps1-dither.frag: PlayStation 1 hardware rendering aesthetic featuring 15-bit color precision reduction, 4x4 Bayer matrix ordered dithering, horizontal composite blur, and faint line grid borders.
• fs-e-ink.frag: Electronic paper display (EPD) simulation featuring selectable greyscale steps (1-bit to Carta 16), Bayer ordered dithering, paper tone warmth, ambient room light sheen, partial-refresh ghosting, and periodic screen inversion flashes.
• fs-risograph.frag: Two-color Risograph screen printing emulation featuring selectable dual spot-color duotones, rotatable halftone dot screening, mechanical plate misregistration, ink density pooling, and fibrous paper texture.

5. FS Farts & Weeds Pack

• fs-stoner-vision.frag: Bloodshot vignette, dreamy bloom, soft focus, and gentle breathing zoom.
• fs-silent-but-deadly.frag: Periodic green gas cloud creep with air distortion and randomized event timing.
• fs-purple-haze.frag: Psychedelic hue rotation, purple base grade, and lazy wave warp.
• fs-hotbox.frag: Dense drifting smoke layers, warm lamp glow, contrast loss, and lifted blacks.
• fs-dutch-oven.frag: Bottom-pooling green miasma with heat-shimmer air distortion and murk.
• fs-crop-dusting.frag: Drifting random gas puffs that warp the image as they pass.
